SEASON SUMMARY:
Dr. Allen’s basketball team did not finish in first place
in the Valley race but made an enviable record towards the fag end of the
season. He started at the beginning
and taught the men the rudiments of the game and had a team that was hard to
beat at the end of the year. It was
the first time in his coaching career that a team under his guidance has lost a
championship, a reputation in itself. Dr.
Allen coached the K.U. team in 1908 and 1909, when they took the Valley title.
He won a state title for the Baker Methodists and went to the Warrensburg
Normals, where he won the title from 1912 until he came to K.U.
Dr. Allen is an athlete himself, having won his letter in basket ball and
baseball at Kansas, and played on the freshman football team his first year.
He is planning big things for Kansas, and not only plans but gets his
ideas under way.

1920, page 70.
After William Hamilton resigned, Karl Schlademan, head
track coach at KU, began the 1919-20 season as the Jayhawks’ basketball coach.
But he didn’t last long. Kansas
beat Emporia State 37-22 in the season opener, and Schlademan promptly resigned
to concentrate on his track duties. Allen
stepped in, leading the Jayhawks to a 11-7 record and a third-place finish in
the Valley. It was the first time
in his coaching career that his basketball team had not won a league title. But it wasn’t his last.

Crimson & Blue Handbook, page 26.
In the 1919-20 season, the Kansan reported that the
Missouri fans “yelled with delight” when Dutch Lonborg twisted his knee.
